The good old days when good and evil were easily recognized seems
preferable to the current slow decline of Quality.

Is'nt the knowledge of good and evil what got us all in trouble in the
first place?
{metaphorically} when the apple of knowledge was eaten the world split
in two.
when knowledge of quality emerged, it emerged intellectually as dualism.
[Platt]
Sounds like a born again Christian.

Really? I read that post as 100% MOQ.
"Only birth can conquer death-the birth, not of the old thing again, but
of something new. Within the soul, within the body social, there must
be-if we are to experience long survival-a continuous "recurrence of
birth"
(palingenesia) to nullify the unremitting recurrences of death.
Sounds like DQ/SQ to me.

Arlo, I've had similar sentiments regarding original Christian thought,
I too suspect it started
out with an MOQ aim, to unite subject and object (dualism) with the
concept of a Christ.
to be "born again" is to see reality as a child to be flexible and
accepting without preconception.
to realize "value" in the trinity, the value between father, son,
creator and created, subject
and object this value this "holy ghost" sounds a lot like dynamic
quality.
However an amalgom of Platonic theory of form and dominant dualistic
thought prevail, in all
religeon and will be the down fall of any great school of thought.
IMO this is the beauty of Pirsigs MOQ. and like any other school of
thought it's weakness
lies in the interpretation of a dualistic mind.
